SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 738,623, dated September 8, 193.

Application tiled October 9, 1902.

rying the cutting tool or tools.

Our invention relates particularly to the v above type of machine in which a circular cold-metal saw is the cutting-tool carried t- Wardand from the work and is designed to be an improvement uponprevailing types of ,such machines, or, in other words, a practically new machine, so far as we are aware, which not only overcomes many of the wellknown objections to the old forms of construction, but also embodies several novel and desirable features which have evidently `not been thought of heretofore by the designers of the machines of this ciass now in `general use.

The general objects of our invention are simplicity, to" reduce the size of sawing-machines with a view to economizing door-space, to secure easy accessibility to all the working parts, to overcome as far as possible a noisy `and rattling operation of the parts, to dispense with the customary long main shaft splined full lengthand the bevel, ruiter, worm gears, or cones of gears sliding on a feather, and to obtain better and quicker work at a greatly-reduced cost.

Generally speaking, our invention consists in a rigid base or bed having an arm or bracket provided with a feed-screw journalbearingand a carriage track or guideway, a

`carriage or ram slidably mounted upon and y the feed-screw-shaft belt. i The invention also consists in various de- Serial No. 126.488. (No modell) tails of construction and in combination of parts, all as hereinafter will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures'refer to the same parts throughout the several views.

Figure 1 is a partly sectional view, with parts broken away, of a machine embodying myinvention, same beingtaken substantially on theline :c a: of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the feed-screw, showing the parts mounted thereon in section, said parts being broken away from the base or bed and the carriage. Fig.V 4 is a side view of the ratchet and pawl and a cross-section of the screw shown. in Fig. 3, said pawl being raised and turned out of engagement with the ratchet-Wheel. Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the machine minusthe overhead drum and belts. Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the carriage with the hood 4and side bearings or bracket broken away, the horizontal dotted lines showing the guidegrooves on the back of the carriage. The inclined dotted lines show the position of the plate 14 of Fig. 9 on the front face of the carriage. Fig. 7 is a top plan view of the carriage with the saw-blade in position thereon. Fig. 8 is a horizontal sectional view through the center of the' saw-driving combination spur and antifriction roller gear and the guide-plate of Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a detail view of the aforesaid guide-plate. Fig. 10 is a fragment or section of the saw, showing the relative projection of the teeth. Fig. 11 illustrates the teeth of the saw, on an 'enlarged scale, on a plane at right angles to that of Fig. 10. Fig. 12 is an enlarged View of the spur-gear,showingone of thepinsandantifriction-roller.V Fig. 13 is a section on the line y y of Fig. 12. Figs. 14 and 15 are enlarged views of the saw-driving combination spur and antifriction-roller gear, showing a mod iication in the saw-slot thereof and in the method of mounting the roller-pins. Figs. 16, 17, 18, and 19 are detail views taken from Fig. 15. p y l In the drawings, A represents the base or bed, consisting of the upright portion 2, the

vz to rest upon.

foot or bottom portion 4, (best shownk in Fig. 5,) and the guide or track portion 3, allV of which may, if desired, be cast in one piece. In the bottom 4 of the base is an oil channel 5 or trough 4', filled with oil and through which the saw-blade runs. The base 2 4 may be made in any suitable form, the essential feature being the track and guideway 3 thereof, which may be a separate part bolted to any 1o suitable support, and we do not confine our invention to the particular form shown of support for the track and guide 3. In the form of construction herein shown the base portion 4 supports an arch 4, which is provided with a clamping-screw to hold the material to be sawed, the latter being shown in the form of a round bar in Fig. 2. The track or guideway 3 has a knife-edged or V-shaped lower edge 5, and a rectangular upper edge 6, fitzo ting correspondinggrooves or channels in the 3o bearing 9, the raised portion containing aT- slot 10, adapted to engage the head of the bolt -orshaft 11, upon which the combination spur and antifriction-rollergear is mounted. The holes 12A and 13 of the plate 14, Fig. 9, register with the slot l0 and the Vhole 15 of the main-shaft bearing 8. The carriage 7 is also providedwith the lower extension or bearingbracket 16in which the shaft of the friction roller or pulley and its adjusting-shaft, here- 4oinafter referred to, are journaled. Thus the carriage 7 supports and carries the following parts: The saw 17, the grooved combination spur and roller gear-wheel18, having its spindle or shaft secured in the plate 14, the combination belt-pulley and frictioncone 19, the

-friction wheel or roller 20, the worm-gear hood 21, preferably an integral part of the part 16, the worm-gear and all of the shafts except the feed-screw 23, which has its stationary bearing in the arm 22, secured to the base or an integral part thereof. In order that the tension of the main driving-belt shall` always be the same during the reciprocation or movement of the carriage, we provide a- 3 drlvlng-drum 24, which drives the main driving-belt 25 and permits it to move with the 'carriage Said drum 24 is mounted in a plane parallel with that in which the carriage moves and the belt therefore given a quarter-twist.

6o 'The main-shaft pulley is preferably provided with double flanges, as shown, to prevent the belt from slipping oi in case of any slight -discrepancyin the relative positions of the vdriving-drum 24 and the coned pulley 19.

`A belt 26, also driven by the drum 24, is provided for rotating the feed-screw 23 for a quick return of the carriage 7. The belt 25 operates the slow or worm-gear feed movement upon thestationary screw, while the belt 26 rotates the screw itself in the threaded hole of the worm-gear, as will hereinafter be more fully explained. The drum 24 is made of sufiicient length to permit the belt 25 to travel with the carriage the full distance both ways and also extends far enough to provide for the belt 26.

The combination belt-pulley and frictioncone 19 is provided with an internal hub 27', which is slidably mounted upon the main shaft 27 for a slight movement in the plane of thev long axis of said shaft 27 by means of a feather-key 28, screw-threaded into the hub 27' and longitudinally movable in the slot or key-seat 28 of the main shaft 27. Around the shaft 27 is a spiral spring 28, compressed between the hub 27 and a collar 29, preferably shrunk upon the shaft 27. A collar 30 is keyed or shrunk upon the outer end of -the shaft 27, which, together with the collar 29, prevents longitudinal movement of the shaft 27 in its bearing 8. Between the collar 29 and the inner face or end of the bearing 8 and secured on the shaft 27 is the wide gear 32', which drives the combination spurand rollerp-in gear 3l, provided with the deep groove or peripheral channel 32. (Best shown in Fig. 8 and the modified Fig. 15.) This groove or channel is slightly wider than the thickness of the saw-blade of the saw 17. This groove may be of uniform Width throughout or its outer portion may be enlarged, as shown in Fig. 15, to provide more room for any metal particles or chips which may adhere to the sawblade or drop4 therefrom between the sides of the groove. Circularly arranged near the bottom of the groove 32, as clearly illustrated in Figs. 2 and 14 and in detail in Fig. 12, isa row of antifriction-roller pins 33, which may be short screw-bolts, as illustrated in Fig. 12, or plain pins Hush with the sides of the gearand provided with bushings, as illustrated in Fig. 15, or any suitable means foi-holding the pins in position may be provided. Loosely mounted for rotary movement upon the pins 33 are the antifriction rollers or collars 34, Figs. 12 and l3. In Fig. 15 the roller-pins 33areshown mountedin bushings 35, provided with oilholes 36. Also mounted on the shaft 27, be-

tween the combination-gear 3l and the bear- Y ing 8, is the adjustingplate 14, movable inA the plane of an arc with the shaft 27 as its center, which when secured in position is clamped to the T-slot 10 of the carriage 7 between the head of the bolt or spindle lland the bushing 11', upon which the gear 31 is mounted. A washer or ring 11" and the nut 11" complete the-clamping means, which rigidly secure the plate 14'and the gear 31 to the carriage 7. The position of plate 14 is clearly illustrated by dotted lines in Fig. 6, and the plate itself is in the detail view of Fig. 9, the hole 12 being for the spindle or bolt 11 and the hole 1,3 forthe main shaft 27.

Opposite the main-shaft bearing 8 andthe ing best shown in Fig."7, as also in Fig. 1, same beingbrokenaway in the carriage illustration, Fig'. 6. In this side extension of the `carriage are bearings or shaft-sockets 37 and 38 for the frictionroller shaft 39 and for the lower or journal end of adjusting-screw 40 by` means of which the friction-roller 41 is adjusted in varying positions along the face of the cone 19 for regulating the, degree of speed of thecarriage-feeding mechanism.

The screw 42 isprovided with 'a threaded nut 43, to which is secured an adjusting-fork A `r44, f engaging a groove 41 in the frictionroller 41 and through which the said roller is moved upand down along the shaft 39. In the roller 41 is a key which slides inthe key-seat the drawings.` B'olted to the hoodportion21 ovflthe member 16. of the carriage or secured `thereto by any suitable means is a disk 46,

` which forms one side` ofthe hood and one ofthe 39"of` the shaft 39. Said key is not shown in side bearings for the `combination worm-gear1 `j and nutf45`and is clearly illustrated in Fig. 3x.

The disk" 46 is provided ,with a: circular openlingof just sufficient size to admit the feedscrew 23. The socket or journal-box 37 in the carriage, member 16 is interrupted or `madeintwoparts by the opening 47 inthe 1 member 16 to provide a seat for the worm 48, p which issecured to fthe .shaft 4bya countersunk set-screw or any othersuitable means.

The worm 4,8, therefore, alsoserves as a collarto holdthe shaft V39 against any but rotarymovement in the socket 37. A collar 49',

\ secured by a set-screw, performs the same office for the shaft 40 ofthe adjusting-screv'v 42. A hand-wheel 50`is provided on the screw 42` for rotating it, and thereby varying the mspeed'of the friction-roller 41 or moving it betweenthe apexand base of the cone 19.

\ rotate around thescrew 23' for the varying;

ing threadeden'gagement with the screw 23. (See Fig. 3.) Said worm-gear is caused to degreesof feed movement imparted to it through the cone 19, the friction-roller 41, and

the worm 48 upon the shaft thereof,` and the feed-screw 23is` caused to rotate within the worm-gear 45 for the'quick return movement,

thus servin g to impart two movements, which i, maybe combined, if desired, to obtain a large range of differential `feed `movement in connection with suitabled riving-belt connection,

` and thisarrangement also provides for the thrust against the screw-threads being always 5 t in` the` same direction whether the carriage is fed slowly forward for returned quickly, do-

ing ,away with play between the threads of thescrew 23 and the combination worm-gear and nut 45during the reciprocation of the l carriages .The worm-gear 45 has'a stub 51,

which isthreaded for` the fiber-collar 52 and also be provided. The hood 21, being apart of the member 16 of the carriage and bearing against both sides of the worm-gearand nutl a front view thereof in Fig. 2, and atop view thereof in Fig. 5. The form of this arm or the `manner of its attachment is not an essen- .tial feature of our invention, and any suitable support for the end of the screw 23 will serve the purpose.

Upon the screw 23, bearing against the left side of the bearing or arm 22, Fig; 3, is a ratchet-wheel 54, which is preferably` shrunk upon the screw-shaft. Engaging the teeth of .the ratchet-wheel 54 and supported for rotary movementas well as longitudinal movement in a bearing 55 in the top of the -arm 22 is a pawl 56, vthe pointof which may be inclined on one side, as shown, to permit the teeth Aof of the ratchet-wheel to slip over the point of the pawlwhen the screw is rotated in the Worm-'gear 'and nut 45 for a quickreturn movement, while the otherside of `the, pawl is inclined toward the ratchet-teethand holds the feed-screw stationary when the carriage is fed forward. If it is desired to feed the carriage both Ways by a slow movement, the pawl and ratchet may be made to hold the screw against rotation in both directionsor the beveled side of the pawl alternatelyreyversed-with relation to the ratchet-teeth.

The upper end of the paWl is provided .with a knurled head or button 57, in which is a downwardly extending socketpin 58, (see Fig. 4,) adapted to slip. into a small holeor opening 59. (Shown in Fig. Bylifting the pawl and turning it into` the position shown in Fig. 4 the pin 58 is lifted outof the opening 59, which will rest upon the top 60 of` IOO IIO

23` of.' the feed-screw a close adjustment can bemade and any wear taken up. On the stationary bearing end of thefeed-screw are fixed andloose pulleys 63 64, over which the belt 26 runs to rotate the screw for a quick return o r to run idly. Of course the carriage may be rotated in either direction and any suitable belt connection or arrangement provided f or its pulleys 63 and 64. The extreme end, of the feed-screw outside of the fixed and loose pulleys is squared toperinit oflturning the screw .by hand with a `Wrench or ,cranl'g4 The dotted lines, Fig. 3, indicate one method of providing an automatic belt-shifter to throw the belt from the tight to the loose pulley when the carriage has reached its extreme starting-point in a quick return movement. In practice, however, this is not deemed necessary, as the force required to return the carriage would not necessitate much tension in the belt, which would readily slip if the operator neglected to throw the belt onto'the loose pulley in time, and no damage tothe machine would therefore be caused by such neglect.

Referring now to the construction of the saw-blade teeth illustrated in Figs. and 1l, two sets of teeth, having their cutting-points arranged in concentric circles, are provided.

The projecting or longer teeth 65 are tapered,

so as to present a smaller cutting-point than the inner row of teeth 66. The object of this is to strengthen the initial cutting-teeth 65 with relation to the amount of resistance or work imposed upon it and to constitute it a sort of entering wedge, cutting a channel and oiling said channel for the teeth 66 cutting to `full width, making room for the metal to expand into the groove whenengaged or sheared off by the full-width teeth 66. By providing the saw-blade with the tapered or V-shaped leader-teeth the blade isled straight through the work, as well as .providing an oil-channel and expanding-space for the final cut, which on account of the room for expansion enables the saw-blade to make a much smoother cut through the work than when the blade ts tightly in the cut and largely'prevents lubrication, causing great frictional heat and wear upon theteeth. Our invention provides for a liberal and constant lubrication of the sawcut, keeps the saw cool, venables a greater speed of operation thereof, prolongs the life of thesaw, and obviates the frequent regumming made necessary in connection with thel common form of saw-teeth.

The operation of our sawing-machine with the source of power or belt connections arranged as shown in the drawings is as follows The drum or long driving-pulley 24 having been started in rotation in the direction of the arrow, the belt 25 on the cone-faced pulley 19 will drive the latter in the direction of the arrow, and with it the small spur-wheel 32',` which engages the peripheral teeth of the combination spur and roller gear 18, driving vfriction-cone.

same in the opposite direction, the rollers 34 of which are in mesh with the teeth of the saw and rotate it in the same direction as the At the same time the friction-l cone 19 operates against the friction-roller 41 and rotates the shaft thereof,together with the worm 48 on said shaft. It being assumed that the b'elt 26 is on the outer or loose pulley instead of the tight pulley, as shown in "Fig 2, the worm being in en gagementiwith the worm-gear 45 will rotate the latter at a comparatively slow rate of speed around the feed` screw 23 to drive the carriage forward. If a `higher or a lower rate of speed of the carriage is desired, the operator will turn the screw 42 by means of the hand-wheel thereon and through the fork 44 move the friction-roller 41 either toward the base of the cone or toward its apex. As the spiral spring 28 presses the friction-cone outward in a hori zontal plane aud the friction-roller surface lies in a plane which intersects that of the outward movement of the cone the tendency is to not only press the latter against the friction-roller, but to wedge it against or u pon the lfriction-roller 4l, which makes the frictional contact or engagemen tbetween the respective friction-surfaces far greater than could be secured by straight pressure. As is also evident, the friction-cone'affords infinite variations in speed as compared to speed variation through cones of gears and is noiseless in contradistinction to the latter. Vhen the operator desires to return the carriage, he will throw the belt 26 onto the tight pulley which rotates the feed-screw in t-he threads of the worm-gear in a direction opposite to that in which the pawl engages the ratchetfteeth,

'and the pawl slips over the teeth during the return. movement, the tendency of the worm gear and nut being to turn the screw in the opposite direction when rotating around it. Of course under the arrangement shown in Fig. 2 the worm-gear is constantly rotating around the screw, tending to feed the carriage forward even when it is being returned; but, as is also evident, the forward movement imparted by the worm-gear rotating around lOO the screw is insignificant compared with the speed imparted to the worm gear or nut when the screw is rotated therein. rlhe distance the carriage is moved on its return being usually small, the operator may prefer to turn the screw by hand instead of throwing.,r the belt 26 onto the tight pulley, in. which case he would have recourse to acrank or wrench viittiug the square end of the feed-screw, and

if he wishes to accelerate the forward motion of the carriage by'hand in like manner he may do so by lifting the pawl out of engagement with the ratchet-teeth, as shown in Fig. 4. It is also evident that the friction-roller 4l may be moved down on the shaft 39 far .enough to be thrown out of engagementvwith may be made in our invention by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of same, and we therefore do not confine our normally stationary feed-screwin said carriage and support, a driving and a driven zov i pawl` adapted to engage same adjustably` `mounted in said support, a driving and a` driven shaft journaled in said carriage, a pnl-3 ley and friction-cone splined to said driving-` shaft, an adjustableflfrictionroller and a 'shaft mounted on said carriage, a frictioncone splined to said driving-shaft, a frictioning said roller along the face ofisaid cone, a Worm on said driven shaft, and a Worm-gear threaded on said screw, engaging said worm.
